If b is the base then the height h=b+6. As we have S=bh/2 then
36=b(b+6)/2;
b²+6b-72=0;
D/4=3²+72=81
b₁=-3-9=-12
b₂=-3+9=6.
The base is always positive so b=6, h=6+6=12.
Answer: base=6 ft, height=12 ft.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Data set D does not contain the value 128, which is the median value.

Data set C does not contain the outlier value 91.

Data set A contains value 168, which does not show up on the plot.

The only remaining choice is B.

_____

In order, the data values of set B are ...

... 91, 114, 120, 126, 128, 128 134, 136, 139, 142, 152

The median value of these 11 is the 6th one: 128. The median values of the remaining two sets of 5 are 120 and 139, making these values the quartiles at the ends of the box. The value 91 is more than 1.5 times the IQR (19) below the 1st quartile, so is considered an outlier. (The cutoff is 120-1.5·19=91.5.)

9x−9y=0 3x−4y=10 solve by elimination
NikAS [45]

Answer:

(-10,-10)

Step-by-step explanation:

9x-9y=0

3x-4y=10

In elimination, we want both equations to have the same form and like terms to be lined up.  We have that.  We also need one of the columns with variables to contain opposites or same terms. Neither one of our columns with the variables contain this.  

We can do a multiplication to the second equation so that the first terms of each are either opposites or sames. It doesn't matter which.  I like opposites because you just add the equations together. So I'm going to multiply the second equation by -3.

I will rewrite the system with that manipulation:

9x-9y=0

-9x+12y=-30

----------------------Add them up!

0+3y=-30

     3y=-30

       y=-10

So now once you find a variable, plug into either equation to find the other one.

I'm going to use 9x-9y=0 where y=-10.

So we are going to solve for x now.

9x-9y=0 where y=-10.

9x-9(-10)=0  where I plugged in -10 for y.

9x+90=0  where I simplified -9(-10) as +90.

9x     =-90 where I subtracted 90 on both sides.

x=       -10 where I divided both sides by 9.

The solution is (x,y)=(-10,-10)
